Teams for Android does not work with Bluetooth.

Teams will not recognise Bluetooth headphones when joining calls.

I have tried restarting, clearing cache, clearing storage and reinstalling. I have tried multiple different models of headphones from completely different manufacturers. I have tried different phones.

This is not a user issue. This is an issue with the application. Several posts have been made.

Please fix it.

EDIT: the 'Nearby Devices' permission will fix this issue in most cases. For me, it worked temporarily (for one call) and then reverted to the same issue. However, the issue does now seem to be fixed - I have had consistent success for about 2 months now. I am assuming that a recent update to the app has fixed an issue that was causing this.

Hi Chris,

I had the same problem, and I noticed it was because of the permission setting of TEAMS.

I reinstalled Teams and accepted the "Nearby devices." access and it works now.

    I managed to solve it based on a suggestion someone had posted to check the ms teams app permission.

    On the android phone, go to Settings -> Apps -> Teams -> Permissions -> Allow access to "Nearby devices"

    This solved the issue! I am now able to talk on my Shokz using ms teams on android and muting from Teams does not cause beeps in the head set.

    Time will tell if this will work. Thank you to the person who suggested the settings! :)

    Shazam!

    Hi Chris,

    Thanks for this - it brought finally clarity on the matter for me.

    Now 1 year down the line and the issue seems still there. Did you ever received any reply on your ticket or any updates at all?

    Many thanks

    Best,

    Laura

    No replies unfortunately. Raising an issue with Microsoft sends it into oblivion and unless it's upvoted by that community, it sits there forever.

    A lot of users on this post seem to have had success with permissions settings, but that hasn't worked for me and I am suspicious that it has worked as a permanent solution.

    To anyone still having this issue, please try to uninstall teams and re-install it on your android device. And upon first launch allow for nearby devices permission. I've tried to allow nearby devices without uninstalling and it didn't work. But after re-installing it, it worked flawlessly. This worked for me at least
